Gary Tanin / Daystorm Music
Audio Engineer, Music Producer, and Publicist
Gary Tanin (born Gary Stefan Tanin, 19 September 1952, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is a veteran Milwaukee musician/producer/engineer with a career spanning decades and reflecting two central themes: music and technology.
Biography
At age 16, Tanin had already laid the foundation for his calling when landed a record deal with Odessa Records, recording his original material. While attending the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee during the early 70's, Tanin apprenticed as an audio engineer at ARCO Recording Studios where he studied the Art and Science of audio recording and production. In the mid 70s he released the critically acclaimed, self-produced concept album Otto & The Elevators. In the early 80's he foresaw the unique possibility of combining newly emerging computer technology with music. He produced dozens of artists during the 70s and 80s. He has had numerous articles published in industry publications, including the CMC Source Book and AfterTouch(tm). These special interests led to Tanin's work with garageband.com co-founder Jerry Harrison (of the rock band Talking Heads). Harrison contributed to Sublime Nation, Tanin's 1995 solo CD released by MultiMusicaUSA. In addition to Sublime Nation, Gary has released several national critically acclaimed CDs of his own and produced local, national, and international artists. Tanin's Japanese/US release, XPensive Dogs, is an intercontinental fusion of east and west. A follow-up to XPensive Dogs, entitled DOG EAT DOG, was released in 2004. Japanese label Hard Disc International released XPensive Dogs, and Sublime Nation was released in Japan on the Mouse Records imprint. Tanin's entire catalog is being distributed in the US by
RockIt Records (USA).[3] Gary Tanin has produced for bands like the BoDeans, Monovox, and Sam Llanas, and mastering for the likes of ex-Violent Femmes drummer Victor DeLorenzo and Daryl Stuermer (of Phil Collins and Genesis fame). Tanin has won the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) Producer Of The Year Awards for 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2010.[4] He was an active past member of the Audion.

Ep 21.5
Jamie Fontaine and the Level - Teaser Clip
From the opening thumping beats of one of the band’s early originals, on their self titled debut album, the blues infused “Home”, you could tell there was something special about this band. The band that has hosted to many to count underground shows, to traveling both coasts of North America, just finished writing 3 songs in NASHVILLE with Malcolm Springer & Jason Schrick, with guidance from Holly Hutchinson and signed under Indie Label STRYKER RECORDS, INC. with Chris Dobry as Manager.
We are currently working with Scott Wilson at Sunshine Studios in Colorado Springs!
The band is growing with these additions and experiences with singer/songwriter Jamie Fontaine. His inspiring vocals are limitless and dynamic, and his lyrics leave you thinking long after the song has ended. The rhythmic duo of Colby Peters and Joseph Weise drive the pulse of this band with the fury of a tornado to the subtlety of a teardrop...and back again, seemingly effortlessly. In late 2019 they met and later added Lead Guitarist Tim Kempen. He added guitar leads on new songs and created parts for others. They mesh seamlessly with Kempen's electrifying guitar work, as if the band has but one heartbeat.
Stay Along for the ride and we truly appreciate your support!
JAMIE FONTAINE AND THE LEVEL
